《Heaven's Grip : Orcs of Iaoue》Cleansing 21 : Us Heartache

I went towards the Chief. He seemed to be deeply sad about the turn of events. But that did not stop the Chief from moving forward since he was busy gathering the dead bodies of the goblins and piling them into one place. The Chief told me that there is this thing called offering and this will allow you to receive favor from the Goddess. He told me that there are many types of offerings. One of them is called Festival of Blood where you need to gather blood and flesh to serve as an offering towards your Patron God. He told me that since the Goddess is a member of the Predator Alliance she would happily receive blood and flesh. The other Gods might have different requirements but we really don't need to know them anyway. The Chief did not mean to surprise the horde about this offering thing but because of the recent string of events, he doesn't have the time to do so. 'Well, the Hogs are used to surprises so it won't really matter much.' is what I thought. As the believers of the Goddess of the Moon. The Hogs became active at night but that does not mean we are inactive at day. Of course, our body needs to rest but as our stats increase the duration of sleep, in our lives have decreased as well. Not only that, every time the sun descends and the moon arrives our bodies will be rejuvenated from all the fatigue we receive, one of the effects of our Goddess's Blessing. Making the statement 'sleeping as a Hobby instead of a necessity' is no longer considered as a joke but a reality. Analyze 'Festival of Blood and Flesh'.

The Goddess of the Moon will temporarily allow her clone to descend from the realm of Gods. The clone will grant you one request. AF: Chance of success depends on the offering. Items offered will be lost either success or failure. The Chief muttered something and the dim illumination of dusk turned into darkness. Deep darkness. As the sky above our heads sparked and cracked. The great moon revealed its appearance vanquishing the darkness. A little shiny dot started to travel towards us. As the dot started to grow bigger, a dazzling silhouette with the body structure of a goblin and the old farmer arrived in front of us. The scattered Hogs in the camp started to gather towards the silhouette, even the sleeping Hogs opened their eyes and rushed towards it. The Chief and the horde unconsciously bowed towards this silhouette, even I am not an exception. ........ ........ ........ (cicada chirping) ........ ........ ........ 'This...' nobody spoke we kept bowing our heads. The being in front of us didn't speak, it did not do a thing either. The Chief spoke breaking the silence. "Oh, great Goddess. Please, I offer you this pile of flesh and blood." ........ ........ there's no response and the silence continued. ........ ........ the hogs started to raise their heads and give in to their curiosity. the silhouette no longer shone and the surroundings turned into bloody red hue. An eerie feeling dwelled as the Goddess respond. "This offering, I'll accept, speak thy desire." The being spoke in an indiscernible voice it was not soft nor hard, feminine nor masculine and the tone was emotionless. "Oh great goddess, please bring our fallen brothers back to life." The Chief asked pleadingly as he poked Pic to release the dead bodies. Pic nodded and moved side ways as he brought them out one by one, forming a long line of dead bodies. As the final dead body was placed a notification popped out. TRANSACTION FAILED INSUFFICIENT OFFERING At the same time the notification appeared, the dead bodies of the goblins started to shake. The pile was crushed by an unknown force as it turned into a pool of blood. The moon slowly absorb the pool of blood temporarily making the moon red, the silhouette ascended towards the moon along with the remaining drops of blood. Nobody spoke, but red tears started to fall from the Chief's eyes. The Chief collapsed as the red background turned into black making the surroundings dark. Moments later, the area was illuminated by the moon and the stars as if all that happened earlier was nothing but a dream. The Hogs who were mystified by the happening started to get noisy, they looked at me with eyes asking about 'what the hell was that' kind of look. Of course, I told them about it and they made disheartened faces. It was a failure. The offering that the Chief tried to execute failed, the hopes of reviving the horde members who died was shattered. Though I really don't believe that those who died would turn back to live again. The Chief still clung to the possibility no matter how little it was. We brought the Chief toward his camp spot so he could rest. The Hogs are still grieving, but there was also a portion who continued living just the same and hunted for little critters. When the night ended, the Hogs decided to throw the dead bodies of our brothers into the river. When the Chief rose from his slumber, he spoke about the remaining reward. "REWARD"

Abominable King
(Rebooted version Synopsis) I was just a man like any other, until I got sucked into a world that wants me dead.

Between a character I had created in my youth who wants nothing less than to conquer the world in my name, a force made up of unholy monstrosities and the Forces of Light constantly trying to kill me, how am I to live peacefully or find a way back home and will I even want to by the end of my journey? I will do what is needed and fight for survival, even if it means becoming what the slanderous rumors about me proclaim as truth.
